#Gus Atkinson

[stokesy55]

Alright Gus fucking sevenfer in the end??

Also Jimmy getting the last wicket of the innings 🥲

Not doing too bad with the bat - would be good to have caught their runs by stumps (though this weird delay might stop us from doing that)

Curious squad announcements

England squad for ODI series against New Zealand: Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.

I mean, it’s incredibly similar to the squad of four years ago that won and won dramatically, which is mainly good. I mean, they absolutely won on a wing and a prayer, but the same team will have the same wings and prayers, so. I’m curious if S Curran will be in the starting XI. Probably - hopefully - and it seems to me that he’s the one projected to take on the Ben Stokes, batting-six-and-there-at-the-end role, and he doesn’t seem ready for that now so I guess the inclusion of Stokes is good. Just, you know, it’s better if everyone arrives in India with the Captain able to move.

I’m a bit surprised by the inclusion of Jason Roy. He hasn’t done much for a while. I guess I’m pleased in the sense that I like loyalty to players, but I was expecting Jacks, Crawley and Foakes and they have all contributed more to recent matches (although admittedly in different formats). But I’m also pleased because I have loyalty to players and if J-Roy can find some form with Jonny, England will stand in incredible stead.

Leaving out Harry Brook though.

Chuffed for David Willey.

England squad for T20 series against New Zealand: Jos Buttler (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Josh Tongue, John Turner, Luke Wood.

Yay, Will Jacks! I think he might be the crucial test player of the future so it’s nice to see him beginning to be included. Also great to see more Rehan Ahmed.

I wondered about Crawley, but the red ball and white ball teams seem to be pulling away from each other to some degree, so I’m not that surprised.

No Dan Lawrence in either format, which is a shame.

I don’t recall Gus Atkinson when Surrey have played Middlesex but I guess he must be something. Surrey are certainly an extremely strong side - the white ball team isn’t a million miles from a Surrey 1st XI. Which brings me to…

Seriously. Has Foakes set fire to a pavilion? Murdered a groundskeeper? Chained himself to The Oval and refused to leave?

India vs England 2nd ODI LIVE SCORE: Rohit Sharma roars back to form with 100, India win by 4 wickets to seal series

India vs England 2nd ODI LIVE SCORE: Rohit Sharma headlined India’s four-wicket win over England with a return-to-form 119 in Cuttack as the Men in Blue sealed the series with a game to go. Chasing England’s 304, Rohit and Shubman Gill gave India a solid start by putting 136 runs for the opening wicket.  During his stay in the crease, Rohit plundered 12 fours and seven sixes to take the game away…

[archie-gray]

7 wickets on his debut is crazy work he’s made a deal with the devil or something

england cricket is going absolutely insane right now

[house-onthe-hill]

Gus Atkinson you beauty!! English sport currently on track for 4/4 this week (F1, women’s cricket, hopefully men’s cricket and football today)

[stoookes]

With Broady gone and Jimmy about to retire :((( who do you think will be England's bowling attack from now on? Stuart recently made a statement that Jimmy's retirement (and his own too) leaves England wanting desperately for some experience. And I have to agree with him. I'll admit it, England aren't my team, so the only time I watch their tests is when they are playing against my team, India, and a bit of the ashes here and there. But very honestly, I can't remember any fast bowler apart from Jimmy and Stu to feature consistently in the admittedly small sample of matches I have. Woody is probably the next most consistent to these two. I remember Woakesy was there in the 2020 and the 2021 Ind test series, but I don't think he was there for the recently concluded 2024 one? Or if he did play, it wasn't more than a match or two. Again I remember Sam Curran being really good in the India series in 2018, and I'm pretty sure he played in the 2020 and 2021 series, but again, I don't recall him playing the 2024 one. Which is mystifying tbh, because Sam was absolutely great in the 2018 series, even Kohli said so and credited him with being the difference in the two sides or something like that. And I remember Ollie Robinson played a few against us, because he got into this pretty publicized sledging battle with Virat once. Apart from these three, whom I remember distinctively, I can remember some pacers like Olly (Stone I think??), Craig Overton, Josh Tongue, etc. playing, but they haven't featured consistently in squads or lineups. So who do you think can take up the Jimmy and Stuart mantle now? Because I can't seem to remember anybody who's consistently partnered Jimmy and Stu over the years, and has at least a fraction of their experience.

(God I am so not ready for Jimmy to retire, he debuted before i was born, so I assumed that he's been playing forever and he will continue to play forever 😭😭😭😭)

So I agree - one of the reasons Stuart and Jimmy never retired together was to keep the experience in the dressing room. I also very much think Jimmy has been pushed out rather than left of his own accord. I really desperately hope that he does stay on as bowling coach because at least then we don’t lose that experience.

We have all the ones you listed - woody is more impact than long spells, Jofra is hopefully coming back to tests soon, Sammy should hopefully get another chance, Gus Atkinson as well is being listed as the next one to watch. Woakesy didn’t play in the recent India test but I hope they do bring him back into the home attack. We also have tongue, Overton, stone. Personally I don’t rate Robinson but he’ll likely get a few more goes as we now try and work out what our future bowling attack looks like.

It was always going to be like this when either/both Stuart and Jimmy went because they’ve been the backbone of the England test squad for so long. I mean good on the management team seeing the India performance and declaring something needed changing. I just hope they do it right or it’s gonna be a tough few years

After the Strictly tour, she chose to take a vacation from TV and refocus on her own profession for a bit in order to preserve her sanity, she claimed in an exclusive interview with the Mirror last month. Since I work two jobs concurrently, it was much simpler for me to take a break from TV and take care of my health. "Am I going to return to Strictly? I proceed step by step at all times. I adore my job to pieces. I can't conceive of a job that would be more fulfilling if it were just that and nothing else.

Two years after entering the line-up and performing in the ensemble, dancer Cameron Lombard has left the show, according to the line-up. It follows rumors that Spanish-born Gorka, who now resides in Greater Manchester with his fiancée Gemma Atkinson, was planning to leave the show after failing to catch Helen Skelton at the Glitterball in December. Following complaints from fans that the dancer and former Blue Peter anchor Helen had been "robbed," Gorka and even Gemma disputed the allegations.   Read the full article

IND vs ENG Pitch Report

The MCA Stadium in Pune features a real bounce and short boundaries that encourage stroke play, making it a conventional batting-friendly surface. Early on, pacers experience some movement, but batting gets easier as the ball ages. The surface is anticipated to be high-scoring generally, while spinners will be used in the middle overs. Given that dew could affect the second innings, the team that wins the toss might want to chase. Around 170-180 runs are scored in the first innings on average at this location.

India vs England Weather Report

Clear sky and temperatures of about 18°C are predicted for the evening. Rain is not predicted, thus the game will go on without interruption.

Abhishek's constant commitment to style while playing Brave

Abhishek Sharma has always had a straightforward approach to his game. The 24-year-old's fearlessness and explosive batting have allowed him to advance quickly in elite cricket. However, there is also a considerable risk associated with his procedures.

After a great spell with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous IPL, Abhishek got his India debut in July 2024. In just his second encounter, he scored a scorching century against Zimbabwe to signal his emergence as an international player. Although he received a lot of praise for his flashy batting, he also had a slow spell following the ton, scoring a maximum of just 16 in his next seven innings.

It was going to be difficult to keep India out of the running for very long because they had so many contenders for the opening position, including Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Abhishek could have had to choose between modifying his style and sticking to his natural game because Sanju Samson was also taking use of his opportunities at the opposite end.

He decided on the latter. The left-hander's brilliant innings in the T20I opener against England at Eden Gardens further strengthened the team management's faith in him after he demonstrated his loyalty to his style with a 25-ball 50 and an 18-ball 36 against South Africa in the previous two T20Is.

India got off to a fast start as Samson took on Gus Atkinson to score 22 in an over after Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and Axar Patel combined to limit England to a respectable 132. Only in the third over did Abhishek face his first ball, and he danced down the track to Jofra Archer right away. He signaled his intentions even if he was unable to make his shot. After that, he hit a four and a six in the same over, but Archer quickly removed Samson and Suryakumar Yadav, putting India in a precarious position.

India was 41/2 at the time, and the risk/reward ratio may have favored forming a partnership and leading the group to success. However, Abhishek was adamant about maintaining his own flair, and the result was pure fun.

He took two consecutive sixes from Mark Wood, who was trying to test Abhishek's pace, with a casual flick and a slash over thirdman. The left-hander then proceeded to capitalize with a four and two sixes off consecutive deliveries after Adil Rashid made a return catch. At the midway point of the chase, India sped to 100 thanks to a six from Jamie Overton that enabled him to reach a 20-ball fifty.

Abhishek hit two more sixes before he holed out at long-off, accounting for 86.07% of his 79 runs in boundaries alone. At that point, India was just eight runs short of the mark and crossed the finish line with 7.1 overs remaining.

India might have been in more serious difficulty if this aggressive batting hadn't been successful on a different day. But there is little reason to doubt the Indian team's improved approach to the shortest format, which blends in perfectly with Abhishek's innate style.

Abhishek attributes his ability to remain loyal to himself to a good support network, which includes Gautam Gambhir and company as well as the coaches at Sunrisers.

"I believe that having coaches and players like that in Hyderabad was a huge blessing for me as a batter. The IPL was the only source of the momentum. I believe that because they allowed us to be free, I always wanted to go and express myself as a child. I worked on that a little bit, and when I entered the IPL, the strategy was pretty straightforward: simply go and express. And just go for it, even if it's the first ball, if it's in your arc.

And I believe that the plan was very straightforward as a result, even for the Indian squad. This kind of conversation, where we have to play according to the situation, or anything similar, has never happened to us. "They always wanted me to just go and express myself, and I think today was one of those times where I just wanted to win the game and thought it was my day," Abhishek says.

And did he have any fear or doubt when he failed? "I've always believed that I want to work well with others because, as you can see, there is competition (for positions) in India for every team, even our senior team. However, I believe it was a significant time for me when captain Surya Paaji or Gautam Paaji would constantly tell me, "The way you play, the way you intend to play...and we're going to back you." The team seems to have a lot of faith in me, therefore I should keep doing that.
